Fairy Tail
By: Green-Eyed Mermaid
Chapter 1: "The Nightmare Memory"
Everyone I loved was falling down all around me. I looked around in despair as the attackers took my mother, my father, my friends, my family, my nakama. They all fell. And then the unthinkable happened. Celia, my mentor, my guide, my master, my sister, was overtaken. I watched in horror as the spell shot through her shoulder and she fell to the ground. The red-haired nature lover, master of my guild, looked up at me and my four sisters. Her eyes were glazed over from pain as she lay in a pool of her own blood, but those bright blue eyes also looked determined and very angry. She mouthed one word at us, "run."
I looked around so I could tell the others Celia's orders, but to my dismay, I saw a man running at two of my sisters with a knife. I began screaming. All thought left my head as I screamed, except for the burning desire to protect what little was left of my nakama. I vaguely felt the building shaking as the water in the pipe system responded to my anger. The walls around me burst, water streaming in, washing away only those who attacked my guild, but flowing into the guild members who were hurt or dying. The water attempted to heal my nakama, and it flushed away the ones who tried to tear our family apart.
When my family was safe and the waves calmed, I saw Celia look up at me in amazement. I blacked out.
When I awoke, I saw a face so completely and totally controlled by evil; I screamed and woke up, sitting straight up in bed.
I looked around and saw my room, in my house, in Magnolia Town, where I worked as a mage at Fairy Tail. I got out of bed and moved over to the full body mirror in the corner. I turned around, pulled my shirt up to my shoulders, and looked at the purple guild mark on the back of my left shoulder. I had just had a nightmare about the last time I had seen my family from Mermaid's Eye.
